Verizon LG Spectrum hands-on

LG’s press conference in Las Vegas just wrapped up and we quickly stormed the stage to grab you a few photos of Verizon’s latest smartphone, the LG Spectrum. The Spectrum runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) but Verizon promises that it will upgrade the device to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) in the future. It offers a 4.5-inch true HD IPS display — it looks amazing up close — an 8-megapixel camera capable of recording 1080p HD video and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. It also supports Verizon’s blazing fast 4G LTE network. LG wouldn’t let us hold the device in our hands, but we were able to get a good look at its relatively thin design and super sharp screen. It will be available on January 19th for $199.99 with a new two-year contract. Hit our gallery for photos of the LG Spectrum.
